envy...

ok maybe not all-out crazy green with envy, maybe just a light lime green or somethin...but still, i was bored at work today (finished the schedule early) n i was clickin' through people's blogs when i came across this entry from one of my buddy's pages...

excerpt from johnnypaper's livejournal:

"Jun. 9th, 2004 05:01 pm Today I watch the boats

Went out with a friend and did some partying. Crashed at his place but couldn't sleep. Four AM hits and I'm out the door, all my stuff tucked under my arms and a desperate need to just drive. The sun comes out early now and I'm cruising down Beach Avenue with the sky changing colours on me. Pass the bridge I keep going until I make it to Jericho Beach just in time to see the sunrise. The mountains lit up like they were set on fire and the most brilliant light spilled out from behind them. I was in awe. The barges were honking their early morning mating calls and Ryan Adams was playing in my car cd stereo.

"Today I watch the boats, move across the water..."

There was nobody there at this time. Utter complete silence except for the sounds of surf, birds and boats. I rolled down my windows and fell into the most blissful sleep.

I woke up at noon and the beach was now full. After a quick check to make sure I wasn't robbed or had anything taken from my car, I start up the engine and go."

aaahh...i wasn't there, but i can imagine it; in my office chair i close my eyes n suddenly i am there! i can feel the gentle breeze and smell the warm morning air on the tranquil shores of Jericho...the soft, soothing sound of the crashing waves...so peaceful, i see the golden sunlight bouncing off the water hear the breeze rustle through the trees.....n then BAM!! i hear the rambling of the Hobbit-woman in the office-next-door, the one w/ a voice like that of a hoarse horse. startled, i open my eyes n nearly jump over the keyboard when i see the eccentric photocopy lady (she's inhaled too many photocopier fumes over the years) giving me a deranged smile and a wave...*sigh*...it was nice while it lasted...=T
